Father of Lights Official Teaser Trailer

Darren Wilson (voice): “Let this be recorded for generations to come, so that people yet to be created may praise the Lord that he looked down from the heaven to the earth to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die.”Jack Deere: “God is good. He’s extremely good. Everyone wants a king like Jesus. If we represent him well, they’ll want his body too.”Woman: “He doesn’t expect you to come all clean and all shiny and all perfect. He expects you to come to him the way you are before you know him – as an orphan.Darren Wilson (voice): “Don’t be deceived. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of lights. He never changes or casts a shadow. He chose to give birth to us by the word of truth. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.”Man: “I will not try to be politically correct. It’s simple. A line has been drawn in the sand. Jesus is the only way. I’m ready to die for this statement. But then how you can pave the way, is only through love.”Voice Over: “He's’ coming for you. He’s coming. He’s here.”

Endorsements

“I managed to get a preview of the film and was simply bowled over by the love and grace of the evangelists that were filmed. These were people who truly demonstrated Jesus as he would have been on earth and revealed the abundant love of our Father in heaven. My 13-year-old son joined me and was also fascinated by it. This film will be a key milestone in transforming the church and our approach to the lost and hurting around us.” – Kingdom Vision.

Father of Lights and Darren Wilson

Darren Wilson carries the title of ‘Adjunct Professor and Filmmaker’ at Judson University, Elgin Illinois. For 2012 he announced a full summer tour for his latest Wanderlust Productions film, "Father of Lights," - the third installment in his epic documentary series exploring God's power and love across the world. Wilson himself earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Judson in 1998 along with a major in English and minor in Biblical Studies. For more than 12 years he has taught media and writing at Judson in the same department from which he graduated.

Wilson turned his career to the practice of filmmaking in 2005, and produced his first documentary "Finger of God," in 2007. In 2010 he followed it with its sequel, "Furious Love". The two films have, to date, combined to sell over 120,000 DVD copies.

Of his latest film, Wilson says that it is “…big, epic, and above all, challenging. If I were to have to explain what it is about in a nutshell, I would put it like this: if Finger of God is about God’s power, and Furious Love is about God’s love, then Father of Lights is about God’s heart. I went into making this film by asking the simple question: who is God? I wanted to know His character, His personality, and who He truly is. To answer this question, we had to peel back the many layers of religious garbage that has been passed onto him through generations. That He is angry. Vengeful. Wrathful. And in general, that He doesn’t like you very much. The truth, as you will see vibrantly in this film, is that He is the most loving, compassionate, and wonderful Father you can imagine.

For the final installment in this documentary series about God, Wilson says he went into the film with a simple question: Who is God? “Along the way we will look at a number of things. Aside from dealing with some of the misconceptions surrounding the Father, we’ll journey through the nature of grace, take on the religious spirit, and see some of the most amazing God encounters ever put on film. You’ll meet people who love more extravagantly than you thought possible, will watch God deal with witch doctors and gang leaders and Hindu holy men, and you’ll see an ending that… well… let’s just say you’ll need to see it to truly believe it.

Wilson sought to answer his question by exploring the many misconceptions about God that have been formed by religious entities over thousands of years, and by seeking powerful testimonies of God's love taking place in the world today. As with past films in the series, Wilson brings the audience face-to-face with the extremes of society and religion with witch doctors, Hindu gurus, violent gang members, and religious fanatics. “...it’s going to make some people very uncomfortable; especially religious people. This will be a monumental call to the church to stand up and finally do what we have been called to do around the world. If we aren’t going to love the world around us, then we might as well pack it all up and go home. If we don’t love, and if we don’t bring freedom with us, then we are simply another religion, lumped in with the rest of them. But first, of course, we need to understand who we truly are and what we have at our disposal.’’

For the release of this final film in his groundbreaking series, Wilson's production company sought an extensive tour showing the film in 30-40 large venues/churches during the summer of 2012. To fund the tour, they began a kickstarter.com campaign with a goal of $15,000. Within less than 24 hours of opening the campaign, their goal had been reached. By April 30 when the campaign closed, they had raised $95,733.

In 2013 Wilson will be leading a unique co-op program that will give students hands on film-making experiences through his studio, Wanderlust Productions, which is housed on Judson's Elgin campus.

Reviews from Screenings

“This is a documentary, in the style of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 or Bowling for Columbine. But the subject matter is very different from Moore's films: Darren Wilson is trying to capture examples of (the Christian) God in action. To this end, he travels with and films various Christians who minister to others (many of them are not "ministers" by profession) just to see what happens when people put their trust in God. He finds examples of self-sacrifice; supernatural guidance; remarkable 'coincidences'; and above all, the power of love as an expression of God's heart for his children - i.e. anybody.”

“There are some surprises: without giving spoilers, there are some situations where people play a role that "good Christian theology" would not predict. This film may not include big special effects or airbrushed movie stars, but like Moore's documentaries, its attraction is that it is real; and after seeing it, I expect you'll believe that God - the Father of Lights himself - is real and active too.”
